“We have been working hard on the training ground, we got a point last Saturday and a win in midweek so we are in a good place right now. Hopefully we can get the win at Mansfield to round off the week.

“The Bristol Rovers game in pre-season gave us a wake-up call. It came at the right time and we learned a lot from that as a team and are looking to build on it.

“The games are coming thick and fast at the moment and we need to make sure we do the right things on and off the pitch.

“There are new faces defensively, we have changed a lot in recent weeks and we are looking to work hard and get the clean sheets.”

And, on a personal note, it is a game that Jennings cannot wait to play in.

“It is my old club and I enjoyed success there and am looking forward to going back,” he added.

“These are the sort of grounds you want to play on and games you want to play in.

“Mansfield were one of the best spells in my career in terms of success and hopefully I will get a good reception from the crowd.”
